One social media account called MainStatePress published very many very bitter political attacks against Graham Platner, a Democratic Party candidate for the Senate. Then a funny thing happened. The #HollywoodReporter wrote: "Then, the moment Mills dropped out and it became clear Platner would emerge as the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee, the MaineStatePress stopped posting about the race altogether."

It looks like Mills was behind this anonymous smear campaign against him. #politics

Poh Si Teng and her #documentary American Doctor, her feature directorial debut about #doctors working amid the #war in #Gaza, were in focus at the industry conference of the Copenhagen International Documentary #Film Festival.

Asked about her journey to taking on the war in Gaza from a humanitarian perspective in American Doctor, the filmmaker said: “A year into the genocide, I didn’t have any more words. I was very angry. And then came despair. I didn’t know what to do with those emotions.” So she “needed to find something else,” leading her to quit her job and empty her bank account of around $150,000.

Teng found Dr. Mark Perlmutter and his colleagues Dr. Thaer Ahmad and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, providing emergency care in Gaza, inspiring.

It’s hard to make a #documentary about the war in #Gaza that does not feel overtly political. And yet director Poh Si Teng’s unflinching new exposé, American #Doctor, is first and foremost a #humanitarian story — one in which #medicine and moral decency take precedence over partisanship.

[...] By its very existence — and in what it reveals about the IDF’s killing, maiming and wounding of #Palestinian civilians over the past few years — the film is a condemnation both of #Netanyahu’s far-right #war machine and the #US government’s steadfast support of it.
